# Running metrics.sh as a service on Linux
|
|
|
|
Run the following commands as root:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
# Install metrics.sh at /opt/metrics.sh
|
|
$ mkdir /opt; cd /opt
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/pstadler/metrics.sh.git
|
|
$ cd metrics.sh
|
|
# Install the service
|
|
$ ln -s $PWD/init.d/metrics.sh /etc/init.d/metrics.sh
|
|
# Create a config file
|
|
$ mkdir /etc/metrics.sh && chmod 600 /etc/metrics.sh
|
|
$ ./metrics.sh -C > /etc/metrics.sh/metrics.ini
|
|
# At this point you should edit your config file at
|
|
# /etc/metrics.sh/metrics.ini
|
|
|
|
# Start service
|
|
$ service metrics.sh start
|
|
|
|
# If run with the default configuration where reporter is 'stdout', metrics
|
|
# will be written to /var/log/metrics.sh.log. Be aware that this file will
|
|
# grow fast.
|
|
$ tail -f /var/log/metrics.sh.log
|
|
|
|
# Stop service
|
|
$ service metrics.sh stop
|
|
|
|
# Check service status
|
|
$ service metrics.sh status
|
|
|
|
# Automatically start service when booting and stop when shutting down
|
|
$ update-rc.d metrics.sh defaults
|
|
|
|
# Disable automatic starting/stopping
|
|
$ update-rc.d -f metrics.sh remove
|

```
